Friday Night Frog Gigging


Last night we went frog gigging out at the farm.  It was still a little cool and the wind was awful, but we managed to get a few little ones.  This was the first time that the kids have ever been and I do believe they liked it!  They probably would have liked it more if we hadn't have had to go in the truck because 4wheelers would have been a lot more fun, but they still enjoyed it.  Next time I think Carlie wants to actually try and and gig it by herself!   They asked me if I had ever been and when I told them that Carl and I went on a few of our dates, they thought it was hilarious :)  We weren't in any hurry to get back home because all that wind knocked down a tree on a power line up the road and we were out of electricity from 5 p.m. Friday until 2a.m. this morning.  Let me just say that I am not a fan of no electricity.  If I'm camping and that's the way it's supposed to be I'm ok with it, but not when I'm at home!!  Being serious now, I am very thankful that we were safe in all the storms that came through Thursday night and I guess no electricity is not really a big deal when you think about those families that are mourning the loved ones that they lost.  Very tragic.

I wish that I had gotten more pictures of our frog gigging extraveganza, maybe next time :)

Three Doses of Happiness

Laundry piled up, dishes in the sink, phone buzzing with many emails, toys all over the house.......sounds like an absolute perfect time to go outside and relax with my kiddos! Today has been a VERY warm day.  It probably would be more enjoyable if we didn't know that it would more than likely storm tonight!  Carlie didn't go to school today because she was up a lot last night with stomach issues.  She never vomited, but she was very nauseated and has had stomach cramps.  She hasn't felt bad all day, just off and one.  We might be going to the doctor tomorrow p.m. because Sunday night I noticed that she has a little bulge above her belly button, I wasn't concerned about it (really) until her stomach started hurting and she said that it hurt to tough.  Maybe it's nothing, but people keep mentioning hernia to me.  Please pray that she feels better soon.  Also tomorrow is the big day....academic advising.  I remember the very first time I was advised (somewhere a
